Peach Blossom.

"You mean... I can disguise myself as Mantangjiao?" Tao Ye glanced down at the dead Mantangjiao. Her height and body shape were indeed very similar to hers, even her shoulder width and waist circumference looked almost the same.

Chen Ji nodded and added: "Then... return to the Wang family..."

After hearing this idea, Tao Ye was a little hesitant at first, but she soon thought of the many benefits of doing so:

First, since there is a living "Mantangjiao", there will certainly be no such thing as the Wang family and the Man family investigating the murder case;

Second, although they only met once, she agreed to Mantangjiao's request to save her daughter. People should keep their promises. She pretended to be Mantangjiao so that she could legitimately protect the little girl she had never met and seek justice for Mantangjiao and her servant.

Third, it was impossible for her to return to the Princess's Mansion now, so she had to find the next place to stay so that she could continue to complete the takeaway task assigned to her by the Ghost King.

With these three benefits, Tao Ye made up her mind and walked into the haunted house again.

As for whether the Ghost King could disguise himself, Tao Ye didn't need to ask. Since the Ghost King could use a peach leaf to create her current body, he certainly had the ability to make a high-quality imitation of Man Tang Jiao.

Sure enough, the Ghost King agreed to Tao Ye's request, but... just like the last time he deposited the jewelry box, it became another exchange condition: "This is easy. Just send me ten more orders."

Tao Ye didn't care. There was not much difference between one hundred and twenty takeout orders and one hundred and ten orders!

Chen Ji was surprised when Tao Ye walked out of the haunted house again.

Because, not only did Tao Ye's face become exactly the same as Man Tang Jiao's, but even her skin color changed. How could this be a disguise? It was simply a skin replacement!

The most incredible thing is that the clothes on Tao Ye also turned into the ones that Mantang Jiao was wearing when she died.

Chen Ji looked at Mantangjiao who was dead on the ground, and then looked at Taoye who walked out of the cave, and could not see any difference at all.

Seeing Chen Ji's surprised look, Tao Ye thought it must be because her transformation was perfect, so she felt very proud.

The surprise in Chen Ji's eyes gradually turned into admiration: "Is your master a god?"

"He...so maybe it is!" Tao Ye thought, ghosts and gods are almost the same, so answering like this would not be considered cheating on friends.

Chen Ji nodded again and exclaimed: "Even the voice has changed, the gods are really powerful!"

Afterwards, Chen Ji found a relatively soft open space near Guishan Mountain and began to dig a hole with thick branches to use as a tomb.

Tao Ye wanted to help, so she also found a thick branch. After just a few digs, the weight of the branch made her gasp and sweat, so she had to stop to rest.

Chen Ji looked at Tao Ye and shook his head helplessly: "You are such a fool!"

Tao Ye pouted, but before she could think of a response, her stomach growled.

She suddenly remembered that they hadn't even had a sip of water for most of the day, so she hurriedly asked Chen Ji: "Are you hungry? Do you want me to give you..."

Before Tao Ye could finish, Chen Ji hurriedly stopped her: "No, no, no! No reward without merit, no punishment without fault, please be merciful and don't cook for me!"

Tao Ye was very depressed. She thought, Chen Ji was such a hard-working person, but he was so afraid of eating the food she gave him. How bad must the food in the Ghost King Restaurant be?

As the sun was setting, Chen Ji finally dug a hole. He called Tao Ye to put Mantangjiao's body in. After the burial, the two of them bowed together in front of Mantangjiao's grave.

Chen Ji looked up at the sky and said to Tao Ye, "It's time for us to go!"

"Why are you leaving? There's still one outside that hasn't been buried yet! You have such a bad memory!" Tao Ye deliberately gave Chen Ji a contemptuous look in response to the title of "fool" he had just given her.

"You can't bury that. You have to take it back."

"Ah?" A bunch of question marks flashed in Tao Ye's mind.

Chen Ji looked at Tao Ye with a serious expression: "Girl, think about it, Mantang Jiao has been persuaded by her mother-in-law to let go of her daughter and leave the Wang family. What reason can there be for her to go back?"

Tao Ye seemed to understand: "Her most loyal maid died a violent death, and she wants to go back to seek justice?"

Chen Ji nodded and said, "If she's alive, we must see her in person. If she's dead, we must see her body. Since Mantangjiao can't disappear from the face of the earth, her maid certainly can't either."

Tao Ye thought it made sense, so the two of them carried the bodies of the maids onto the boat and prepared to head to the other side of the river.

When Chen Ji picked up the oar again, Tao Ye suddenly jumped off the boat and ran hurriedly towards Mantangjiao's grave.

Chen Ji was worried about Tao Ye's safety, so he got off the boat and chased after her. He saw Tao Ye moving a big stone and placing it in front of Mantangjiao's grave.

After putting the stone away, Tao Ye looked back and saw Chen Ji, and explained casually: "Her daughter may come to worship her one day in the future, so we have to make a mark."

Chen Ji didn't say anything, but stared at the stone for a long time.

Tao Ye walked back and passed by Chen Ji. She found that Chen Ji was still standing there in a daze, so she patted him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Jinu smiled and said, "I was thinking that if you became a mother, you would definitely be a very good mother."

This compliment made Tao Ye feel a little embarrassed. She had no idea what it meant to be a mother. However, she would soon play the role of a mother.

When they were rowing across the river again and were about to go ashore, Chen Ji asked Tao Ye to wait in the cabin for a while. He rented a carriage and put on a straw hat with a long brim to cover his face. Then he drove Tao Ye to the vicinity of Wang's house himself.

When Tao Ye was riding in the carriage with the maid's body, she opened a bundle on the maid's body. There was only a small piece of clothing and an envelope inside.

The clothes must belong to the beautiful girl in the room, which is a thought, and the envelope contains a divorce letter.

Tao Ye recognized the handwriting on the divorce letter. It was the handwriting of Wang Jingzhi that she had seen when she lived in Chen Xi's mansion.

The divorce letter consisted of only two or three lines, which showed Wang Jing's indifference and perfunctory attitude towards this abandoned woman. And Mantangjiao's name signed was actually in red - it was clearly written in blood!

Tao Ye could imagine how angry and desperate Mantang Jiao must have felt when she signed the divorce agreement.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the Wang family. The residents near the Wang family were very likely to recognize Mantangjiao. It was inconvenient for Chen Ji to appear in front of acquaintances with Mantangjiao, so he stopped the car a little further away.

It was already dark and it was drizzling, so there were almost no people on the road.

Tao Ye stuck her head out and was about to get off the car, but she couldn't help feeling nervous: "Although they look the same, I know nothing about Mantang Jiao's temperament, and I don't know anyone in the Wang family. If I pretend to be someone like this, won't it be easy to be exposed?"

Chen Ji smiled and shook his head, comforting her: "Girl, you have to remember three things. First, Mantangjiao was expelled from her husband's family, with whom she had lived for eight years, and the only servant who was loyal to her died. After this incident, it is normal for her personality to change drastically. Second, Mantangjiao should be indifferent to everyone except her own daughter, so it doesn't matter whether she knows them or not. Third, if there is anything you can't handle, I can help you."

Tao Ye nodded and got out of the car.

Chen Ji carried the maid's body down and placed it on Tao Ye's back.

Tao Ye barely carried the maid on her back, with the bag on her arm, and took a few steps forward, then looked back at Chen Ji.

Chen Ji just smiled at her, got on the carriage immediately, turned the horse around, and whipped away.

Tao Ye knew that she had to walk the rest of the way alone, into a completely unfamiliar environment.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Tao Ye's hair and clothes were all wet, the soles of her shoes were covered with mud, and the weight of the corpse on her back became heavier because of the rain. She looked more and more miserable.

She walked for a long time in the direction pointed by Chen Ji, and finally saw a magnificent gate with the words "Situ Mansion" written on it. She thought that was the Wang family.

A row of red lanterns were hung on the gate of the mansion, with red satin tied on both sides, and the wall decorations were also full of festive atmosphere.

Tao Ye thought to herself that Princess Si Yao and Wang Jing must have been married right after Man Tang Jiao left the Wang family, and now the Wang family is making all these preparations, it must be for the purpose of marrying the princess.

I think this was most likely an auspicious day chosen by Empress Dowager Meng for Si Yao. Lord Situ Wang Yi was already seriously ill and could die at any time. Empress Dowager Meng wanted her daughter to get married as soon as possible.

It was late at night, and although the Wang family's door was closed, Tao Ye could hear a commotion in the courtyard, as if servants were moving things.

They are still so busy in the late night rain, the wedding date must be just around the corner.

Tao Ye struggled to place the body of the maid on her back outside the Wang family's gate. The maid's blood had almost all drained out, her face was frighteningly pale, and her clothes were almost completely stained with blood. Tao Ye pressed the pale face and red clothes against the cold iron gate.

The eaves outside the gate blocked the rain, but water was still dripping from Tao Ye's hair and clothes.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, a woman in such a miserable state and a pale corpse, how horrible this scene must be!

Tao Ye calmed down and silently emphasized to herself again and again: "Now, I am Mantangjiao, Wang Jing's first wife and the daughter-in-law who was divorced by the Wang family!"

She no longer hesitated, stood up and banged on the iron door with all her might.

After a moment, she heard a strange voice asking questions and footsteps coming in.

Before the servant opened the door, Tao Ye took another step back and retreated behind the maid's body.

Just as Tao Ye had expected, when the servant opened the door, he saw the maid's body on the ground. He was so scared that he shouted "There's a ghost" and turned around and ran back.

His shouting attracted several servants, who came out and shouted as well. But this time, some of them had seen Tao Ye, so their shouting was mixed with the message "Second Madam is back".

Tao Ye silently commented in her heart that the words "Second Madam is back" showed that the servants still recognized Mantangjiao's identity.

After a while, a middle-aged woman finally came out. She supported the maid and calmly looked at the dead body on the ground. Then she looked up at Tao Ye with the same look of astonishment: "Is it Ah Jiao?"
